I have a 27 handicap and my swing speed is 80-85 mph with the driver. I'm looking for some quality steel shafts of good quality, not any old crap like i have now, but they should fit what little game i have. What do you think i should go with?

(p.s. i'm getting new irons too, but they are coming with shafts that i do not want)

my guess is youll want something that doesnt kick too hard and launches high and soft. I'd look at something like the Dynamic Gold GS-75, or even DG Superlight. Both are fairly cheap quality shafts that should fit your game. A low frequency rifle, like the rifle flighted, maybe in something like 5.0. Just steer clear of anything like Project X, Dynamic Gold (everyone plays it, but it really doesnt fit the vast majority of us), Black Gold, or anything really heavy. Good luck

any offerings from any companies besides Royal Precision and True Temper?

Nippon shaft. Amazing quality, Royal Precision price. Nippon makes shafts from 75 grams (superlight for steel) up to 115 grams, (medium weight). They are just great quality, their flexes are right on the money, their weights are accurate. You will see more and more of these in clubs. Titeist offers them, so does Callaway, Nickent, Mizuno, Srixon, Bridgestone and a host of others.

Driver- Geek Dot Com This! 12 degree Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 Stiff
Adams Tour Issue 4350 Dual Can Matrix Ozik Xcon 5

Hybrids- Srixon 18 deg

One of the major designers of Rifle went to FST after TT/Rifle merged. I hear they're making some good products now, http://www.fstshafts.com/

Also Aerotech have steel fibre shafts (instead of shafts being extruded steel fibres are wound until they produce a complete shaft), http://www.aerotechgolfshafts.com/ They're supposedly also very good even even though they seem to have problems with consistency, http://www.golftodaymagazine.com/view.php?I=133

Nippon shaft. Amazing quality, Royal Precision price.

I couldn't agree more. Nippon Shaft is very popular in Japan and all the surrounding countries. I have NS Pro 950GH shafts installed on both of my irons sets (Fusion & MP-60) and they felt great.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
